Philippe Coutinho takeoff to Barcelona could devastate Liverpool's season, says Sunday Supplement. 

Liverpool's season would be obliterated if Philippe Coutinho was to leave for Barcelona, Oliver Holt said on the Sunday Supplement. 

Coutinho sent in an exchange ask for by email after Liverpool turned during Barcelona's time offer of £90.4m on Wednesday night. 

Director Jurgen Klopp trusts Liverpool's proprietors will stand firm and decline to pitch Coutinho to Barcelona however concedes any choice is not his to make.

Talking on Sunday Supplement, Mail on Sunday boss games essayist Holt said he could comprehend the draw to Barcelona, yet says the planning will hurt Liverpool. 

He stated: "I regard a players' entitlement to need to go elsewhere, especially when a club like Barcelona request you, it must be difficult to turn down and I comprehend why his head has been turned. 

"Saying that, he has marked another agreement, and he is vital to Liverpool. I think part about the issue here is that you must be reasonable about these exchanges, on the off chance that he needs to go he needs to go. 

The misery for me is that it is occurring now; if Coutinho goes now, it devastates Liverpool's season, since it makes it hard for him to enlist. It doesn't make a difference whether they get £80m, £90m, £100m. 

"Regardless of the possibility that they do enlist, it's late. So I comprehend why Jurgen Klopp is by and large exceptionally bullish about not releasing him." 

The Daily Telegraph's main games essayist Paul Hayward says Coutinho would be an incredible misfortune to Liverpool, and trusts Barcelona could have made their approach before. 

Hayward stated: "The inconvenience is the attraction that Real Madrid Barcelona still apply; individuals simply expect that when these two clubs approach you, that is it, sometime this player will take off. 

"Without a doubt Barcelona more likely than not realized that Neymar was leaving for PSG. So it is somewhat odd that they are scrambling around now for an answer to Liverpool's detriment. 

"Coutinho would be an incredible misfortune, he's their best player, their innovative center point. In any case, watching them yesterday, they have different issues to sort.
